Android Engineer

At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do. Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.

Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 170 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!

The Role 

We’re looking for a user-focused Android Engineer to join our engineering team. You'll be building Plum on Android from its early days, giving our current and prospective customers a more intimate way to interact with their money.

Our Engineering Approach

We value good engineering principles, imagination, quirkiness and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well-tested code, delivered in rapid iterations.

How We Work

We work in "" – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. As an engineer you'll be working in a squad, but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company. You will also be part of a Mobile engineering team, consisting of Mobile Product Engineers who share the same vision and passion of building an exceptional mobile team that will help people be financially better off.

🏢 We follow a hybrid working model, with two in-office days per week.

Value You'll bring

• You want to build a product that makes people better off
• You’re excited about programming in Kotlin
• You have solid understanding of Jetpack Compose
• Yet, you still have intimate knowledge of the full Android stack and Android architecture patterns
• You want to collaborate on a cutting-edge Android project
• You’re a designer's best friend. You love being part of the design process and enjoy turning the design into a well-crafted and delightful experience
• You’re a product person too — you understand the value and impact of your work

Fist-bumps 👊 if you have

• Solid experience with Kotlin programming language
• Hands-on experience with DI and Android architecture components
• Sound understanding of Git strategies, continuous integration setup, and automation
• Experience with unit testing
• An eye for design that you can transform into Material Design!
• A genuine interest in agile development processes
• Solid experience working with remote data via REST and JSON

Plum's Perks

• Own part of the company you're helping grow through stock options
• Private health insurance
• Annual training budget
• Plum Premium for free
• Competitive referral scheme
• Flexible approach to remote working: we encourage at least 2 days a week in one of our beautiful offices in London, Athens or Cyprus
• Team breakfasts and team lunches
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• 45 work-from-anywhere days to give you flexibility to work your way
• 2 weeks sabbatical after 4 years to take the break you deserve
• Enhanced parental leave
• 1 paid volunteering day annually
• Annual team trip to a surprise destination!
• A fun, inclusive company culture (think 🦄🌈💯)

If you think this sounds like a bit of you then don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Thanks,

Plum Τeam 💜
